When the French jazz legend, Andy Emler<\/strong>, is on stage, we don\u2019t know where the piano strings start and its keys end. Now, imagine this multiplied by three. Yesterday, Andy Emler Trio<\/strong> took the audience to another dimension \u2013 the one of metamorphosis.<\/p>\n

By Rute Barbedo<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This French trio does not lose time with warm-ups. At 10 pm, the basement of the Theatre NO99 is loaded and cosy enough. There is no empty stair case or corner. The space is filled with anxious oxygen and high expectations. Andy Emler Trio strikes up with \u201cQuelque chose \u00e0 dire\u201d (\u201cSomething to say\u201d), but calling \u201cquelque chose\u201d to a vivid and powerful start sounds immediately too modest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is Andy Emler\u2019s fourth time in Tallinn, according to his memory, and his 55 years do not stop him to offer a sweating jazz to the audience. The trio appears as jazzist explorers with a classical taste, tuning their performance in a perfect choreography. Going together to the lowest notes and using the instruments as whole bodies \u2013 Emler improvising with the piano strings, Tchamitchian swinging from pizzicato to the bowed melancholic bass and Echampard making the cymbals scream \u2013, they lead each other on a fluid dance, even when their eyes are closed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The music of Andy Emler can\u00a0have many faces but when accompanied with Eric Echampard<\/strong> and Claude Tchamitchian<\/strong>, jazz comes on its pure form: liquid. At the same time, being one of the most influential pianists and composers of the present French jazz scene gives Emler the confidence to make the audience feel the concert is happening in his living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the third song, \u201cInqui\u00e9tude\u201d, the audience forgets their beers and the walls of NO99. \u201cThis is a composition around four notes\u201d, highlights Andy Emler, and as the musicians cannot escape from them, so can\u2019t the audience. All we can hear is a permanent fusion and, many times, the piano takes the role of the drums to open a later window to the vibrant bass. There is no main actor, only music.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the last half of the concert (with no one noticing the time passing by) the trio strikes with \u201cVoyage en Comptine\u201d, the second Tchamitchian\u2019s composition of the evening, after the joyful and competitive \u201cTea Time\u201d. Andy Emler is not young anymore. Beyond his well-known and remarkable humour, there is a black shirt sweating and a mouth which glides between wheezes and sighs. That\u2019s when, unexpectedly, he surprises the audience with a long solo, while the others admire the mastery of his thick fingers on the piano. The \u201cvoyage\u201d intensifies in the curves of the bass, bringing suspense to the intrigue. And the disclosure is unanimous: the public joins the performance with a long applause.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But there is still time for the credits. The trio comes back with an experiment: playing \u201cElegance\u201d for the first time with no music sheets. \u201cLet\u2019s try it\u201d, shrugs Emler. They tried, they succeed, and they jazzed like champagne in that room.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Andy Emler Trio performed at the Theatre NO99 on April 22nd 2013.<\/p>\n
